A blog full of tips and advice to help people that dream of changing career

Interested in fundraising for charity, but running a marathon’s not for you?

ViewVo is the only platform offering job shadowing opportunities to people who want to change career or get back into work.

Mentors charge a fee.

Mentors can then opt for their fee to be donated to their favourite charity.

If you want to raise money for charity, or you have a friend working for a charity looking for innovative ways to fundraise, what could be better than doing this?

Learning whilst giving and changing someone’s life.

We have two simple messages:
1. You can now raise money for charity by letting someone shadow you at work;
2. Charities can raise funds – it costs them nothing and they additionally help people find their dream job.

Here’s what one of our mentors, Jonny (a songwriter for the likes of Ellie Goulding), had to say about why he opted to donate his fee to his chosen charity:

‘As a form of fundraising I’d definitely much rather do this than run a marathon that’s for sure! I think it’s a really great way to fundraise for charity – just giving up a little bit of your time to help someone else in the process. it’s the easiest thing in the world for me to talk about my job and what I do, and if it’s helping someone else and raising money for charity it’s the perfect thing to do.’

I'm a psychologist and social entrepreneur, mother, friend, wife, sister and daughter. I'm straight talking and love reading about psychology at work. I'm a strong believer that work is important to our sense of well being and I'm very much of the view that the only person which is responsible for our happiness/success is ourselves. I get irritated by negative people who criticise and do nothing constructive. Whilst I love talking about ideas and dreaming, I know and see more value in action. There are a lot of talkers in this world - not many do-ers. I'm definitely in the do-ing camp and am still making plenty of mistakes along the way; but learning along the way which I love.
